Before, we hear the name of the USA's based private space company Space X, which has launched many satellites into space. But in India Within two years too many startups are being established in the field of space programs, in which the first name has come out Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace which is going to make history by launching its first rocket Vikram-s.

But for satellite services such as GPS, and remote internet, the space industry needs such a launch vehicle, which is low cost and which can be quickly assembled and launched.
